Bush blame is 4 years old; let's blame Romney

"Instead of focusing on the violence, the protests, radical Islam, the war on terror, the act of terrorism of killing a US ambassador, Obama’s failed policies in the Middle East, the Obama administration’s initial apology to the Muslims for hurting their feelings, the inability of the administration to even define Egypt as an ally or an enemy, Obama slighting Israel’s Prime Minister while inviting the Muslim Brotherhood to the White House, the Obama administration circumventing Congress to alleviate $1 billion in Egyptian debt … instead of focusing on ALL of that, the ObamaMedia was obsessed with Mitt Romney’s criticism of the Obama administration."

The sacrosanctity of diplomats and their missions is among the oldest and most basic axioms of intercourse between civilized nations, and the fact that neither the Egyptian nor the Libyan government acted to prevent these assaults suggests that barbarism is alive and well in Arab North Africa. Egypt’s failure is especially conspicuous, because that country actually has a functioning government and military. Nearly as disturbing was the response, both preemptive and cowardly, of the U.S. mission in Cairo, which went out of its way to condemn not its besiegers, but private citizens of the West who may or may not have “hurt the religious feelings” of riotous Muslims.

Romney was right to call the Cairo embassy’s obsequiousness “disgraceful,” which is why the White House eventually followed Romney’s lead in disavowing it. Romney was also right to defend his statement against charges that he had “jumped the gun,” saying it is “never too early . . . to condemn attacks on Americans and to defend our values.” Although the press acted as if Romney’s performance at the press conference was laughably unpresidential, what he said was appropriate and true: “It breaks the hearts of all of us who think of these people who have served during their lives for the cause of freedom and justice and honor,” and “the attacks in Libya and Egypt underscore that the world remains a dangerous place, and that American leadership is still sorely needed.”
